AI is changing healthcare. Is your medical practice prepared for the legal risks?

From visit documentation and patient communications to clinical support and billing, AI tools offer new possibilities—and raise important compliance questions for Southeast Michigan healthcare providers.

Before signing an AI vendor agreement or granting access to patient information, consider:

HIPAA compliance and business associate agreements

Patient-data security, vendor access, and use of health information for AI training

Oversight of AI-generated notes, recommendations, and billing codes

Contract terms covering liability, security incidents, data retention, and termination rights

Innovation should support—not replace—clinical judgment.

Szura & Delonis, PLC helps medical practices evaluate legal and compliance risks associated with adopting AI. Contact our firm for guidance before bringing a new AI tool into your practice.

PAY WHEN PAID vs. PAY IF PAID — they sound almost identical. They aren’t.

On Michigan construction jobs, those clauses get mixed up all the time:

• Pay-when-paid usually affects timing — the GC may wait a reasonable period for owner funds, but the duty to pay the sub generally still exists.

• Pay-if-paid is tougher — if the contract clearly makes the owner’s payment a condition precedent, the sub’s right to be paid may depend on the GC actually getting paid first.

Michigan courts look at the exact wording. Soft phrases like “after receipt of payment from the owner” often read as timing. Clear “condition precedent / only if” language is what tends to create a true pay-if-paid relationship.

Takeaway for GCs, subs, and suppliers: don’t skim the payment section. One sentence can decide who carries the risk when the owner doesn't pay.

Michigan condominium boards: a new published Court of Appeals decision deserves your attention.

In Letvin v. Village at Grand Traverse Commons Condominium Association, the Court held that a short-term rental guest is an invitee while using common elements maintained by the association.

That means the association owes the duty of reasonable care applicable to invitees. The Court did not find the association liable; it held that factual questions about the icy conditions and contractor oversight should be decided by a jury.

The practical takeaway? Hiring a snow-removal or maintenance contractor is not, by itself, a complete oversight plan. Boards should review their inspection procedures, vendor scope of work, service documentation, and incident-response protocols—especially where short-term rentals are permitted.

Michigan contractors and subcontractors: lien rights can disappear before a payment dispute becomes obvious.

A late Notice of Furnishing, an incorrect last-furnishing date, a missed 90-day recording deadline, or an overlooked sworn-statement requirement can weaken—or eliminate—a construction lien.

Our latest article explains the Michigan deadlines and compliance steps contractors should track from the beginning of a project.

Learn Michigan construction lien deadlines for Notices of Furnishing, recording, sworn statements, and foreclosure—and protect payment rights.

Could artificial intelligence help your construction company prevent costly legal disputes before ground is ever broken? 🏗️⚖️

AI is no longer limited to the technology sector. General contractors and trade subcontractors are using it to improve contract compliance, streamline project administration, and reduce risk—especially when paired with experienced legal counsel.

Contractors are using AI to:

🔹 Analyze prime contracts, subcontracts, and addenda for conflicting scope terms, indemnity concerns, and missing flow-down provisions.

🔹 Identify critical notice deadlines for delays, change orders, differing site conditions, and other potential claims.

🔹 Compare daily reports, RFIs, project plans, and correspondence to identify out-of-scope work and documentation gaps.

🔹 Track certificates of insurance, lien waivers, certified payroll, and other subcontractor-compliance requirements.

⚠️ AI is a powerful operational assistant, but it does not replace legal advice. The strongest approach combines intelligent technology with sound legal oversight.
